Chris Sligh
Chris auditioned for American Idol in 2006, more or less on a whim. To his surprise, his performance swept him onto a fast track to the final rounds. Though he didn’t win, Sligh did captivate and stir discussion among the millions of American Idol viewers.
Now, After two years of near-constant touring, Sligh set about recording his follow-up to Running Back To You (which produced the top 5 hit “Empty Me”). “Only You Can Save,” the project’s first single, inspired by seeing “a homeless guy on the side of the road. It was July; he was sweating. And I thought about what would be the hardest thing about being homeless. For me, it’d be not taking showers.” Sligh considered inviting him back to his house to clean up, but then second-guessed his motives and drove on. Ultimately, he felt convicted “to love because I’ve been loved, give because I’ve been given to, and reach out because the hands of Christ can save someone,” a conviction that forms the song’s chorus.
On top of writing for himself, Sligh’s making a name as a songwriter for others, making time to write every day he’s not working on a record “I understand that this business is very fleeting, and it’s tough to find lasting happiness when you’re trying to be an artist. My goal is to walk away saying that I made great music, I had something to say, and I conducted myself in business as a Christian first. I want to conduct myself as Christ would. I don’t want to be okay with making ordinary music.”
